Needs help with shrimps...?!
Answers: How can I turn them into pink like fully cooked? I bought them at the store and they are brown shrimps. I'm new at this so help!
They will turn pink as they cook. You can saute them, boil them, bake them -- however you choose, the shrimp will become white and pink as they cook!
COCONUT BUTTERFLIED SHRIMP
1 lb. lg. shrimp, shelled with tails intact
1 extra lg. egg
6 tbsp. milk
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
4 oz. (1 1/3 c.) unsweetened shredded coconut
Vegetable oil for frying
Butterfly shrimp by cutting along curved back almost through other side. Open each shrimp like a book and remove intestinal vein. Rinse gently under cold running water. Whisk the egg, milk and sugar in mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk in flour and salt, then continue whisking constantly until batter is perfectly smooth. Let stand 30 minutes. Spread coconut in a thin layer on baking sheet. Hold one shrimp by tail and dip in batter, making sure batter coats all surfaces. Wipe shrimp against rim of bowl to remove excess batter and place on coconut. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Turn each shrimp in coconut to lightly coat and place on wire rack to allow coating to set. Pour enough oil into large deep skillet to measure 1 inch. Heat over medium high heat until end of shrimp dipped in oil sizzles at once. Add half the shrimp to skillet and fry, turning once, until shrimp are cooked through and coating is deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to paper towels to drain briefly. Fry remaining shrimp in same manner. Serve hot as an appetizer.
Make sure to take the vein out of their back first, then rinse them. You can sautee' them in a pan, boil them, or bake them. I like to get some garlic and olive oil going and throw them into the pan. Let the garlic heat up in the oil first for maximum flavor.
are they raw? or are they old? if they are raw, just fry them in a wok with a little oil. they turn pink when they are cooked. you may also need to devein and remove the shell depending on how you bought them
